You may select two xD
I chose Bow/Fire/Light
Bow-
For well skills
Fire-
For all the dmg increase you get from fir imbue, buff and passive. Also good against wizards to have Earth Fire Protection
Light-
Speed is important for an archer. Piercing Force does increase dmg for even pure str.

Well, obviously fire for imbues, the passive, and buffs.I chose Light because of two factors. The Wind Walk Series are awesome to have because they increase your speed and speed is very important for surprise/sneak attacks. The Piercing Force Series also is great because it boosts your magical damage, and that is nice because you are a pure STR build.

Lasts 10 years when 100cap comes to isro, but then its everyones own choice. That build will do fine at 90cap. What Ive seen in some ksro videos many archer has full pacheon, fire and cold.. no lighting. Speed drugs are not big deal to buy..

edit: always should build up to current cap not look years to future imo, 80cap was great to china. :banghead:

Definitely imo, many glaviers are going heuksal 90, fire 90, cold 90 and light 30.. cold 90 gives even much more extreme def than cold 80. You can see difference so clearly.

edit: Lighting 30 and you still get: Moving speed 38% Increase & Parry ratio 34 Increase :)

Drugs are not a big deal if you are high level and rich, but to a new player they would be something that they cant waste like that

No theyre not. The cap will be 300 forever. Ksro has it at 300. If you read the help guide in game it says chinese are meant to have 2 skill trees.

well i was planning on a 90pacheon90fire90light30ice(snowshield) char. i guess the only real benefit of the light tree would be the speed, phantom, parry ratio increase. but it's probably also worth it than having more def...i could always wear armor i guess :P though the mp consumption will kill

Why do you need ice when you have arrow combo? its almost guaranteed you will knock back your enemy so why worry that much about defense?

A rogue attacking you? all you need is the quick arrow combo.

When fighting against 2h warrior or glavier with +7 weapon or better you need that extra phydef, rogues propably 1hit anyway if they crit if not they are dead.

But its how u like, cold high if you really wanna strong build.. light is very nice for bow too and saves money ofc :roll:

Remember back in the day before alchemy and clerics, and there was no immunity. Ice archers and bladers were almost impossible to kill. And now, most ints have dropped fire, so no more full immunity to ice for them, unless they have a cleric. And extra defence.

I have a level 80 Pure Str Bow, i can pretty much kill ints now, and tank them till the snow shield comes off. My problem is str glavies, and i rarely run from a fight, so high level ice would come in handy a little more.

60 ice is unnecessary. You already get enough protection from str to avoid ice. 90 Light is worth it. If not 90 light then 80. 80 light gives massive mag dmg increase. As well as being fast and a good phantom distance.
Lvling a whole skill tree for two skills is not worth it.
